kniteracy | The knitting news (Reply)

I'm writing a long entry about knitting and spirituality (yes, really), but it's taking awhile, so I figured I'd offer up this banal update on WIPs (works in progress) and stash acquisition instead of actual content.

Projects and pictures

Yesterday, I received a package from

hobbitblue that contained, among other things, three 25 gram skeins of Heirloom Knitting's Merino Lace, about 375 meters per 25 gram skein. I have no idea what I'm going to do with this, but it sure is pretty. Anybody got any ideas?

I did finish the first of the rainbow socks yesterday and I started the second one this morning.

And I've added the second colour to the Jazz Socks, so you can see the red and blue. My son G is eyeing these. I think he actually wants them. :)

I'm slightly concerned about this post I made to the

brit_knits community. I suppose it's my own fault for not doing the research before I made the order, but I hope my experience is better than some of the other folks on the community have had. They had the sizes and lengths of addi turbo needles I wanted in stock (or they seemed to), and they also had Opal silk blend sock yarn. So I have my fingers crossed that the order will arrive sometime this week. I mean, it doesn't have to arrive this week; I'd just really like to swatch that silk/wool blend. :-)
